Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects

Electronic Art's recent acquisition of the Marvel license triggered a slew of different reactions from the gaming populace. Some liked it, some didn't. Others didn't really know what to make of it. Regardless, the acquisition's first of many offspring looks undoubtedly hot. Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects plays sequel to a six-issue comic book tie-in that shipped last month. The story driving Marvel Nemesis focuses on a malevolent scientist whose lifelong work involves genetic experiments. Which wouldn't be so bad, but this evil scientist makes a point of tinkering with the genetic makeup of innocent civilians.

Until he screws up something fierce. He unknowingly abducts the Thing, Spider-Man, Elektra and Wolverine for his experiments. The ensuing carnage forms the core of Marvel Nemesis. Playing as characters from the Marvel universe, along with all-new characters from EA, you'll need to battle for dominance through a variety of stages filled with obstacles and hazards. In fact, these very stages take Marvel Nemesis above your average fighting game. Every object in a given arena, such as barrels, boxes or propane tanks, can be picked and hurled at an opponent. Very cool, indeed.

But enough talk. EA has just unveiled a new gameplay trailer of Marvel Nemesis starring Wolverine and Johnny Ohm. Click below to watch as these combatants endeavor to spill each other's genetically-enhanced blood.
